Angel’s Tijuana Tacos

Angel’s Tijuana Tacos are packed with flavor and your choice of grilled meat and then, as to be expected from the style, get topped with cilantro, onions and a hearty dollop of avocado salsa. The handmade corn tortillas—which are exactly the perfect thickness—get formed, pressed and seared down the assembly line here and the trompo-shaved al pastor proves its own bit of showmanship, making every visit not only delicious but a feast for the eyes, too. Opt for tacos ($2.50), mulitas ($8), vampiros ($4.50), quesadillas ($9–10) and burritos ($9) in North Hollywood, Glassell Park, Echo Park, Sylmar, Van Nuys, Chatsworth and Long Beach (plus a few more in Orange County, Riverside and San Bernardino).
